British Grand Prix 2009
19 – 21 June, Silverstone, England
| # | Driver | Team | Grid | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sebastian Vettel | Red Bull-Renault | 1 | 1:22:49.328 |
| 2 | Mark Webber | Red Bull-Renault | 3 | 1:23:04.516 |
| 3 | Rubens Barrichello | Brawn-Mercedes | 2 | 1:23:30.483 |
Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel scored a crushing victory in the British Grand Prix as championship leader Jenson Button’s Brawn struggled to sixth.
Vettel took advantage of his team-mate Mark Webber being caught behind Brawn’s Rubens Barrichello to build a decisive lead in the first stint of the race.
Having blown his chances of a victory two weeks ago in Turkey after making an error on the opening lap from pole-position, the 21-year-old German made no mistake this time and capitalised on RBR’s new-found superiority to disappear into the distance to end Jenson Button and Brawn’s winning streak.
